Text of introduction by Joseph Planta:

I am Planta: On the Line, in Vancouver, British Columbia, at TheCommentary.ca.

Music on Main, that popular series programmed by its artistic director David Pay among others, will be making its debut on the stage of the legendary Fox Cabaret, Tuesday night, 21 March 2023. The headliners are the Capilano String Quartet, and joining me now is one of its members, the cellist Jonathan Lo. I’ll ask Jonathan about spring and how it figures in the program they’ll be playing. The music is for our time, not just the time of the year, but this time as we’ve passed three years since the pandemic began. The pieces that the quartet will perform include Juri Seo’s Respiri, Raven Chacon’s The Journey of Horizontal People, and Grieg’s String Quartet No. 1, Op. 27, and I’ll Jonathan about the program, and more. I’ll ask him about his fellow musicians, violinists Timothy Steeves and Jae-Won Bang, and Marina Thibeault on the viola. I’ll ask too about the cello. Jonathan Lo has performed in venues such as Alice Tully Hall, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, among many other notable venues. He has appeared as a soloist with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, Philharmonia Northwest, and the Burnaby Symphony. He has given masterclasses at the University of Toronto, University of Calgary, Mount Royal University, and La Jolla SummerFest. He has degrees from the Eastman School of Music, The Julliard School, and the Shepherd School of Music at Rice University. Visit www.musiconmain.ca for tickets and information. Please welcome to the Planta: On the Line program, Jonathan Lo; Mr. Lo, good morning.
